Those who came were students from Mingmiao Law School, and the invitation was sent in the name of Tianya Haige.
"Saint Yao will hold a banquet tomorrow night on Lingnan Lake for the young talents of the two academies. I hope Brother Chen can attend."
This student is very polite.
Gu Chen's eyes couldn't help but narrowed.
Tianya Haige, one of the five holy sects in China.
The Saint Yao that this person mentioned should be the very famous Yao Yufei who was present at today's grand meeting. It is said that she is the Saint of Tianya Hai Pavilion.
However, this person has no friendship with me, so why did he invite himself?
"I have never met Saint Yao, and I am not a young talent. Is this brother's letter sent to the wrong person?"
he asked.
The student hesitated after hearing this and looked at the address carefully, "The address is correct. You are Brother Chen, a steward of the library building of Zhenwu Academy, right?"
As he spoke, he felt confused and wondered if the invitation had been printed wrongly.
The people who can be invited by Saint Yao tomorrow night are all top-notch people from both houses. They have outstanding talents. A small manager should not have such qualifications.
Although he was confused, he was very knowledgeable and explained.
"For all the famous young people in the two houses, Saintess Yao sent out invitations, and they were all unfamiliar with each other. Moreover, Saintess Yao also invited Master Shen. It was rare for him to agree to be present, so that he could give the young people of the two houses some invitations.
Guidance.”
"Brother Chen, since you have received the invitation, take this as an opportunity to accumulate contacts. Go there for a walk, whether it is good or bad. If you can hear the wise words of the Imperial Master, you may have some enlightenment."
Gu Chen heard something in his heart and smiled. "In that case, I will accept the invitation."
He sent the student away and returned to his room, his eyes flickering.
"I am unknown in the Zhenwu Academy. This Saint Yao invited me for no reason. If something goes wrong, there must be a monster."
"However, this banquet is really exciting and hard to refuse."
Gu Chen weighed the pros and cons, thought for a moment and then smiled.
"That's all, just go and have a look. Whether it's the Hongmen Banquet or not, just take the initiative."
…
The event continued in full swing the next day. Every day, students stood out in the fierce competition and became famous.
Gu Chen did not go to see those competitions anymore. The grand event lasted for half a month. He planned to go and see it near the end. Only then would the battles be worth watching.
When it was almost night, Gu Chen took out a set of simple blue warrior uniforms from his storage ring, which was somewhat different from Kyushu's clothing style.
This warrior uniform was knitted by her mother herself. When she fled Fenglin Mansion, she put several sets in her storage ring.
At that time, because he didn't know when he would see his mother again, or even be separated forever, Gu Chen cherished these sets of clothes very much.
Because he often fights with others, his clothes are easily damaged, so he rarely wears them now.
Tonight, he was going to a banquet at Tianya Hai Pavilion. Hearing that the Shen family would appear there, he decided to put on these clothes.
If I'm lucky, my mother is here, and she will definitely recognize me when she sees the clothes.
After putting on the warrior uniform, Gu Chen said to the white ape beside him, "It's the same rule tonight, you lurk in the dark, just in case."
Bai Yuan nodded, and Gu Chen immediately left the residence.
Lingnan Lake is not far from Zhenwu Academy. The scenery on both sides of the lake is beautiful and the lake is crystal clear. Therefore, tourists often go boating here to enjoy the scenery.
Tonight, the saint of Tianyahai Pavilion posted a hero post and invited young talents from both houses to a banquet. Even the national master will attend. This news has already spread like wildfire among the students of both houses.
The students who received the invitation were very pleased with themselves. Although they were upset that they had not received the invitation, many of them came to the shore of Lingnan Lake. Some wanted to see the excitement, and some simply wanted to fish in troubled waters and try to sneak into the banquet.
A huge painting boat stopped at the shore of Lingnan Lake. Several students from the Miao Academy of Law acted as guards to check the ferry. Only those with invitations could board the boat.
The banquet will be held on the lake, which will undoubtedly greatly increase the difficulty of fishing in troubled waters.
"Brother, can't you be accommodating and let me come on board? My clan is quite thin in Qingzhou."
A young man from an aristocratic family said shamelessly, while quietly inserting a storage ring into the guard's hand.
"I'm sorry, no matter what your status is, you will not be allowed to board the ship without an invitation tonight!"
There was a hint of disgust on the guard's face and he pushed back the storage ring.
"This... may I ask, what are the qualifications required to receive an invitation? Why didn't I receive it?"
The son of the aristocratic family was unwilling to give in and asked through gritted teeth.
"Yes, yes! How come many people have received it, but we haven't received it!"
Some students who were doing good things started making noises and felt dissatisfied.
The guard's face immediately showed a mocking look.
"The minimum threshold for tonight's banquet is to at least be on the Qianlong List of Zhenwu and Miaofa."
"Of course, if any of you get on the Nine Provinces Ranking, you can come on board without an invitation!"
When he said this, the dissatisfied students were immediately speechless.
Only 100 people are selected for the Qianlong Ranking. Those who can get on are all students from the inner academy, and they must be at the upper-middle level. This threshold is too high!
As for the Nine Provinces Ranking, don't even think about it. With that level of strength, you can already dismiss this banquet.
Because even the saints from Tianya Hai Pavilion failed to make it onto that list!
Many students stopped for a moment and stayed aside helplessly, watching from time to time someone get on the boat with an invitation.
Without exception, these people are quite famous in the academy.
Suddenly, a plain-looking young man wearing a simple blue warrior uniform came from a distance and walked straight to the ferry.
"Where did you come from? Didn't you pay attention to where this place is? You ran here blindly."
"Yeah, he seems to be rushing to get on the boat. Am I right?"
"Hey, wait and see him being blasted away."
Many students discussed this.
Gu Chen walked to the ferry and was stopped by the guard.
"Sorry, this place is closed to traffic tonight."
Seeing that Gu Chen was not wearing college uniform, the guard thought it was someone passing by and said.
"I want to get on the boat."
Gu Chen said, glancing at the painted boat not far away.
There were lanterns and colorful decorations on it, and the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras could be heard in the distance. It was obvious that many guests had arrived.
"Hahaha, we want to get on the boat too!"
"Where did this country bumpkin come from? He doesn't even understand the situation!"
Many students nearby started to ridicule, as Gu Chen's clothes seemed to be unscrupulous to them, children from aristocratic families, and they began to look down upon him.
"Sorry, Lingnan Lake is booked by Tianya Haige tonight. If you want to go boating and enjoy the scenery, you should wait for another day?"
The guard was much more polite and patiently explained to Gu Chen.
Gu Chen shook his head and turned over his hand to take out an invitation. "I have this."
When the guard saw the invitation, he looked surprised and quickly picked it up to look at it.
"It's true."
Several guards checked to make sure that the invitation was genuine. When they looked at Gu Chen, their expressions became a little strange.
This is the son of a powerful family. He is qualified to attend banquets, but he wears such clothes to tease people...
"Please come on board!"
The guards immediately moved out of the way and respectfully invited Gu Chen onto the boat.
Behind him, a group of laughing students were stunned.
